Question 321334: My question is as follow:
sally is making a cover for a round table.When finished, the cover will fit exactly with no excess hanging off. Sally has to cut the fabric circle with a 4 inch larger diameter than the table to allow for hemming. if the table has a diameter of 58 inches, how much fabric does Sally need? (Use 3.14 for pie. Round to 2 decimal places)
I try it on my own but keep getting the wrong answer. Thanks

The table diameter is 58 inches, so the radius is half of that, or 29. Since the fabric must have a diameter that is 4 inches larger, it must have a radius that is 2 inches larger. Hence, the radius of the fabric is 31.



You can do your own arithmetic.
